i don't like violent movies too much, but i love this
one i don't like russell crowe much either, but
this is one of his parts he was great in...the music is
excellent as well, especially that closing song. i remember
liking it a lot 10 years ago, and i still like it today.

I loved it, must have been about 8 years since I watched it
tho........ I used to be into alot of violent films when I
was in my early teens lol. I think the general grittiness of
the film is what makes it such a classic for me, & Russel
Crowe is fantastic in this which is refreshing....... yeah,
great film.

there's also another old film in this style, its called
"Hate", black&white. Its not about nazi's all the time, but
its about young, bored people . well, se that if you will
have an oportunity, i reccomend it, its mind blowing.

'la haine' is the original 'hate' title, may help you
getting it.

and check out 'c'est arrivé près de chez vous' too. (or
man bites dog = english title)

of all scumbag jokes. etc!

This is a great film. Probably my favorite Russle Crowe
performance ever. It really shows his range. Especially
when you compare it to his performance in The Insider or
something. the guy is a fucking chameleon.

on a side note, the guy who played 'Davie' was excellent
too. but i heard he commited suicide by jumping in front of
a train or some shit. too bad.

with an absolute killer soundtrack which is dark as fuck!

speaking of dark movies , I caught "21grams" the other
night... impressive!

the soundtrack to romper stomper would be cool if the songs
werent about stomping monkies or whatever. i really like
the song at the end of the film that kicks in for the
beginning of the credits. not to spoil it for anyone who
hasn't seen it, but the camera angle used is also kinda
funny.

when you say romper stomper, i think of this old kids show
called Romper Room... i think it might be canadian... does
anyone else remember this? the female host would look
through a hand mirror frame at the end and claim that she
saw "Billy, and Tina, and Stephen, and..." (and basically
she'd list of like 20 random anglosaxon names a child might
have who was watching the show at the time...)

Managed to pick this up for a fiver in Tescos of all places.
Very good film and I agree with what someone said the other
day about it being better than American History X. Perhaps
I'm going soft in my old age, but this was the first film in
years (probably not since I first saw Scum) that made me
feel uncomfortable.

Strikes a good balance portraying the skinheads and whilst
shockingly violent in places, you never feel it's simply
gratuitous.

i thought it was way better than american history x...and i
even like edward norton a lot, on the other hand, i don't
like crowe, but he was good in this one!
